Hi, How can I send request feature to  Metatrader5 Developer Team 

I would like request feature about Backtesting with custom LEVERAGE Level

for backtesting , MT5 on Strategy Tester still not work correct with simulation, may be need to add custom LEVERAGE Level for can useful it

like (example)

$1 - $500,000 leverage 1:500

$500,001 - $1,000,000 leverage 1:200

$1,000,001  - $2,000,000 leverage 1:50


or may be have this feature already but I don't know

So, someone help to advise me how to setup

 

If you are worried about margin and leverage, you are not controlling your risk.

Never risk more than a small percentage of your trading funds, certainly less than 2% per trade, 6% total.

Risk depends on your initial stop loss, lot size, and the value of the pair. It does not depend on margin and leverage. No SL means you have infinite risk.

  1. You place the stop where it needs to be — where the reason for the trade is no longer valid. E.g. trading a support bounce the stop goes below the support.
  2. AccountBalance * percent/100 = RISK = OrderLots * (|OrderOpenPrice - OrderStopLoss| * DeltaPerLot + CommissionPerLot) (Note OOP-OSL includes the spread, and DeltaPerLot is usually around $10/pip but it takes account of the exchange rates of the pair vs. your account currency.)
  3. Do NOT use TickValue by itself - DeltaPerLot and verify that MODE_TICKVALUE is returning a value in your deposit currency, as promised by the documentation, or whether it is returning a value in the instrument's base currency.

  4. You must normalize lots properly and check against min and max.
  5. You must also check FreeMargin to avoid stop out

Most pairs are worth about $10 per PIP. A $5 risk with a (very small) 5 PIP SL is $5/$10/5 or 0.1 Lots maximum.
